Shouldn't have even started
So tomorrow I start my summer job at the Animal Care Unit, should be interesting although not so interesting if it stays at 32 degrees the whole time!
Working does indeed suck but I need to save money for various things such as a laptop or a car...if I get my arse in gear and get some lessons!
The problem is that the government won't let Uni students sit on benefits in term time or even on holiday, tis fabulous isn't it. They also won't give me any money towards prescriptions as apparently the student loan counts as income - even if you don't take it out. I'm not even going to comment on student tuition fees this year and next year which I get no help for. Or travelling which seems to eat money. Because I live at home we also don't get any breaks for council tax.
So basically my dad works to pay for all these other people who can't be arsed (I do not include sick/disabled people) to earn money but does his daughter even get the odd £6 prescription paid for...no. And it stinks. My dad has to go abroad for large amounts of time and is stressed and tired...but he keeps working and he keeps paying. So that isn't right - my dad works himself into the ground while all these work shy people sit there and watch tv on his money. Then I start working and start paying for all these lazy arses as well.
The future is truly bright.

Filming with Bill Bailey (updated)
Ok so basically I'm part a programme for Channel 4 called "Wild Thing..I Love You" hosted by Bill Bailey, there are 10 programmes all on how to protect British wildlife. The programme I'm in is about linking up two sets of water vole populations in the lake surrounding Leeds Castle (Kentish Leeds that is). There are 3 other presenters - Dusty the Ecologist, Sasha the Zoologist and Jem (I think) the engineer. I'm part of a group of about 5 students who appear in various different parts of the film!

Excessively busy again at the moment, finished the newt survey the other day which involved getting to the middle of nowhere at about 7am and then on to lectures for the rest of the day (including a dissection) completely knackered for the rest of the week!
On Friday we had a trip to the London Aquarium for a lecture on conservation, during which we saw Big Mo and Kat Slater from Eastenders! Friend of the stars me. Compared to Oban I thought the aquarium was a bit naff, but I am mammal biased and Oban has otters and seals.
After the Aquarium a few of us went off into London (oh my) to go find ice cream and mooch around in covent garden. We watched some street performers, went in shops we can't afford anything in and ate ice cream. Then we went to pizza hut, ate pizza and erm had ice cream factory. I must admit I felt like a country bumpkin in the big city all day, I really cannot understand why anyone would want to live in such an anonymous, busy, stinking place...ok maybe that is why. Can't say I shall be going back anytime soon, oh actually I am because I am going to a British Wildlife reintroduction lecture at the zoo and I have to get the TUBE. Noooooooo
On Sunday my parents and I headed to Derbyshire for the Rangers Legends match, on the way we stopped off at Rutland Water which is the lowest nesting site that ospreys use in England. We spent most of the day there and were there for ages after most people had left, just as we were walking back there was a huge osprey that flew right over our heads with a fish! So amazing, perfect end to the day. We drove up to Burton on Trent, not in a straight lin because I was navigating...we managed to go through loads of small villages and in a circle. Ahem.
We stayed in a travel-lodge place overnight and woke up to be greeted by evey single room being occupied by Rangers fans! The Little Chef was next door to the travel-lodge but to be honest they MING, so we went into Burton and found a Morrissons with a restaurant that did breakfast - seemingly so did a lot of other Rangers fans and we had a good old natter with some of them.
After breakfast we went to Pride Park so I could stand outside to see who arrived, employees of Derby football club are the nicest people I have met - I needed the loo really badly (it was cold!!) so they let me and my mum into the main stadium to use the posh hospilaty toilets!
So we waited...and then loads of players started turning up! For the Derby team I met Arthur Cox who was a lovely bloke, Roy Mcfarland, Igor Stimac, Eranio bloke and wandered past Peter Shilton! I saw Stuart Pearce and Nigel Clough disappear in to the stadium with a police guard.
For Rangers (most important) I met Terry Butcher - who was sooo nice! I took an old photo I had of him holding the SPL trophy - he thought it was really funny because he had a bit of a mullet! Love him. Then I met Chris Woods who has such a major tan, saw Ray Wilkins walk in, met Stuart McCall who was lovely, waved at Chris Waddle (who was playing for Rangers) and saw Ally McCoist and Gordon Durie get a police guard into the stadium. My mum then got very excited when Walter Smith arrived with Mark Hately, I got Hately to sign an old photo of himself (he has a dodgy tan now) but my mum ran (!!) to go get Walter Smith's autograph on the programme! Sooo funny, she is very happy.
Went into the stadium after that, Pride Park is really nice - very modern and clean. We had seats in the newest stand and a great view over the whole pitch - the fans around us were a great laugh! The match ended up at 3-3 with a Durie double and a McCoist strike but the atmosphere was amazing - the best atmosphere I had ever been in (so said all the other fans as well) We sang 9-in-a-row for a full 20mins and it echoed like some kind of massive choir round the whole stadium. Most stands were occupied by Gers fans so cue a lot of "what a shitey home support!" all the old songs came out with Super Ally being sang A LOT! My mum got a Derby/Rangers Ted McMinn scarf which she wore all match - but I shall steal to go in my collection.
Phew after that we stayed for a bit and sang at the end til everyone started to drift home - although some lads grabbed me for a conga down the stairs! So much fun, so much singing - completely good natured laugh all day! I met some really nice people (fans and players) and I saw an osprey!!! haha mental.
Noticed the new strip is up http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk… think the umbro sign is too far up the top but apparently they do that to ensure the logo gets in the head shots. It has a saltire on the shoulders...looks ok. Bit plain. Not impressed but not depressed with it.

Pus anyone?
Anyone know a posh word for pus? I know there is one but I can't for the life of me remember what it is.
edited to add: suppuration apparently works
"the formation of morbific matter in an abscess or a vesicle and the discharge of pus"
"The formation of, conversion into, or act of discharging pus."
It's for an immunity assignment (yes still that one)

Dignified exits
I hate football.
*sigh* The only time when a draw can actually be a loss. Villareal went through to the last 8 based on the away goals rule, leaving us with nothing but a fight for 2nd place in the SPL.
Amazingly we played like stars for the majority of the game and perhaps we should have capitalised more on our first half form, but that's football. That's why we love it, hate it but undeniably cannot do without it.
I have supported Rangers since I was 5 when my Uncle from Scotland decided I needed a football team to support, he doesn't really like football that much and apparently he tells me it was a toss up between Rangers and Aberdeen before my mum told him that it should be Rangers. Good on ya mum glad someone in this family knows something about football!
The upshot of this decision is that I suffer the unbelievable pain of losing and being a roobish female my emotional state is always fragile - hence tonights tears in front of a television watching one of the loves of my life playing against a scummycheatingbastardo Spanish team. Chris Burke your little upset face cued even more tears. *sigh*

Well the robbery just got interesting again, and SKYCOPTER is in Staplehurst (my village, not that big). Currently searching a farmhouse (and we know who works there!!) at the end of the village. Phoned up the farm I used to work at to let them know and apparently all the news people are phoning them asking them for information!
It is quite mental
- Go to college in Tonbridge and past the money building
- Work in Herne where the manager lived and travel along the road where the guy got kidnapped
- LIVE in Staplehurst
